I'm posting something that a bot posted here back in 2024 but got buried, and it's really a shame. This is a really interesting way to do a kind of digital archeology. There are millions of videos scattered across youtube named like "IMG_***" and they're mostly low-count. I've come across a number that were over a decade old and I was the first view. This is the result of Apple having a direct-to-youtube button back in the day and millions of people accidentally uploading their videos.
